Christopher Daniels

Al-Nawaeer-Hama (SBL) signed experienced 38-year old American international center Chris Daniels (208cm-120kg-1984, college: TAMUCC) for upcoming 2022-23 season. Daniels already started the season at Ezzahra Sports in Tunisian ProA.
In 2011 (three years after his graduation) he was drafted by Erie BayHawks (D-League) in first round (9th overall).
The former Texas A&M University Corpus Christi star is in his 15th (!!!) season in pro basketball.
He has tried to make it to the NBA and played in the NBA Pro Summer League in 2014. Daniels has been regularly called to USA Senior National Team since 2021.
He is quite experienced player. Daniels has played in twelve different countries on four different continents (Asia, Latin America, Africa and of course North America). He has played previously professionally in Argentina (Argentino and Quimsa), China (Guandong Tigers and Flying Leopards), Jordan (ASU Sports Club), Korea (KoGas, Anyang and Suwon KT Sonicboom), Lebanon (Al Riyadi and Sagesse), Mexico (Lenadores), Philippines (FiberXers), Puerto Rico, Uruguay (Defensor), NBA (Brooklyn Nets), NBA G League (Santa Cruz Warriors and College Park SkyHawks) and Nigeria (Rivers Hoopers). Daniels won Korean KBL championship title in 2011 and 2012. He was voted to Asia-Basket.com All-Korean KBL Honorable Mention back in 2009 and 2012.
Daniels could be described: Unique big man who can bang down low, rebound, block shots yet step out to the three point line and consistently hit shots (shot 38% from 3 over his 4 year college career). Runs the court well for a big man his size, is adept at the screen and roll and is very coachable. NBA prospect who could be an outstanding overseas player.
